The Brazil Democrat in its Friday’s issue has the following to say in regard to the death of Mrs. Sarah Jackson which occurred in that city Friday. “The death of Mrs. Sarah A. Jackson occurred this morning at 1:30 o’clock, at the residence of her daughter, Mrs. WC Hall on North Meridian Street. Mrs. Jackson made her home in Greencastle with her daughter, Miss Emma Jackson but she came here about six weeks ago to spend a few weeks with Mrs. Hall. She had been in failing health for some time and was compelled to take to her bed shortly after she came to Brazil, gradually growing worse until the end came. She was 75 years of age and her death was more the result of general debility than any other cause. Three children survive her. Mrs. WC Hall of this city; Miss Emma Jackson of Greencastle and DH Jackson, cashier in Elston’s Bank at Crawfordsville. Mrs. Jackson’s husband died Jan 1, 1880. He was one of the first coal operators in this district and for many years previous to his death was president of the Jackson Coal and Mining Company still in existence in this city. Short funeral services will be held t the residence of Mr. Hall at 12:30 o’clock tomorrow afternoon after which the remains will be taken to Greencastle and interred Sunday in Forest Hill cemetery.” The funeral services in this city will occur Sunday afternoon at 2 o’clock at the residence of Miss Emma Jackson corner of Seminary and Locust streets. -- kbz
